Local Young Man Is Named Naval Reservist of the Year'
A major testimony as to what a person can do when tfiven the same opportunities under the same conditions was evidenced this past week when a younj*- naval reservist took a giant step in the promotion of Negro welfare within the military ranks of our city.’ That young man was Petty Officer Robert L. Burton who, recently, was named “Naval Reservist of the Year” for Naval Reserve Surface Division !)-42 (L). Officer Burton, son of Mrs. Margie McDowell, 1325 Bellefontaine, and Robert L. Burton Sr. of Milwaukee, is also the only Negro in his division. A letter of commendation addressed to Burton from the commander, Naval Reserve Battalion
9-11, read:
“This Command notes with great pleasure that you have been selected as Naval Reservist of the Year 19fi0 for Naval Reserve Surface Division 9-42 (L). To be chosen the outstanding reservist for this Unit should be of great personal pride to you. You haVe received this recognition because of your loyalty to your unit, your professional ability, your leadership, the many extra hours of eflfort that you have devoted to your unit, your attendance, and your dedication to the Naval Reserve. “Many excellent shipmates of yours were considered for this honor, and you were considered by your officers to be best in your unit.

AIRMAN CHARLES W\ MURRAY
HAMMOND—David Berry, onetime kingpin or dope traffic in Gary was sentenced l ast week : : n U. S. District Court to 2 years in 'ederal prison for unlawful importation of heroin. The 19-year-old man received the maximum prison verm on the charge after changing his plea to guilty instead of undergoing a new jury trial. He must
serve the full 20 years.
At the same time, Judge Robert A. Grant dismissed a second charge of unlawful sale of heroin The dismissal of the ’ess seriou c -ount was requested bv Assistant U. S. \ttorney Martin H.

Berry operated the Family Gardens Restaurant, described by Kinney as a Gary narcotics center on
bench while Swygert is presiding in South Bend in an anti-trust case involving 13 oil companies. Grant pointedly asked Berry whether anyone had made any promises or threats to influence him in changing his previous olea 'f innocent. Berry bowed his head ‘or a second and then declared,
“No!”
Kinney explained the importation charge included possession of 11 grams and 310 milligrams oT heroin. The maximum penalty upon conviction, he added, called for $20,000 fine and 20 years in j prison, or both. A poignant plea tor merciful sentence was presented bv Berrv’r attorney, Max Cohen of Gary. He said since Berry was jailed last vear there has been a marked change in him despite his “long history' of undetected narcotics violations.”
